Hi I've noticed that the first trade of this is due to ship next week (13/09/07).

Anyone got any postitives/ negatives to report on this title. Is it one I should consider picking up?

An absolute work of genius.

It's a story about a cult of anarchists, fighting against the domination of the media networks. It is fantastically written, with multiple layers of plot, and an amazing layout of panels and artwork. It is also one of the most original comics I have ever read - I've never read anything like it.

Get this! I'm telling you!

Superb. I'd pretty much been convinced - I'm loving Image's output these days but its always nice to get it confirmed!

This book was AWESOME!!!! I have never read anything quite like it. the writing was great, the art and panel layout was truly original and served to enforce the story. This was really good. I'm getting married next year and I'm saving money like crazy to pay for it, but I am so glad I spent money on this book.

It's alright, worth a read.
Story's slight, but it lets the design sense and the feeling of information overload take over.
I hope Hickman continues to work in this style, because I'd be interested to see how far he can take it.

I feel compelled to tell you many innocent people die during the course of this book. Get a helmet.

It's a good read. However, the end may leave you a little flat. If you aren't completely wrapped up in the story you're going to notice some really, really big plot holes by the end of the story. However, the book's entertainment value makes it worth reading.

You know, I also thought that I found some holes in the story, but I don't mind because I found the whole concept, very original. The plot was maybe not the best, but it is one of the must have books, even only for take a look at the art. But it really worth your money and your time.

Fantastic must read/re-read book! Go buy the TPB you won't be dissapointed.

It's funny cause I'm a journalist myself and I think it's ironic that one of, if not, my favorite mini of the year is about a cult that assassinates journalists.

I even entered in the contest to get draw getting shot in the book. I didn't make it. But I think it's a bitter sweet loss. It would be weird seeing me getting shot doing my job in a book, but very cool to be apart of such a masterpiece.

Anyone know if he's going to continue with the idea for a sequel that was hinted in the last issue?
